Izikeli 4

1 Hagi menina vahe'mofo mofavremoka hapateti'ma brikima tro'ma hunte'nazana erinka kavuga antenenka anante Jerusalemi rankumamofo amema'a eri vakakinka tro hunto.

[Yahweh also said to me, ] “You human, take a large clay tablet/brick and put it in front of you. Then on the [engrave/draw] on it lines that represent Jerusalem.

2 Hagi ana hapateti'ma regripenkama tro'ma hanana brikimofona ha' vahe'mo'zama rankuma'ma avazagi kagine'za mopama kate'za ante hihi hu'ne'zama ha'ma nehaza zana tro huntenka kagio. Ana nehunka ha'ma hunaku'ma rankuma keginamofo megi'ama ha' vahe'mo'zama vihuma hu'za kanegizaza hunka, ana havemofona vihua hunka kagio. Ana hutenka ha' vahe'mo'zama rankumamofoma seli nonkuma'ma kiza kanegizaza hunka seli nonkumara kinka ana kumamofona kagio.

[draw figures around it to represent enemy soldiers who will] surround the city. Make mounds around it and a dirt ramp up against the [around the city]. [figures around it that represent] (battering rams/heavy logs that will break though the walls).

3 Hagi ana'ma hutenka ainire fraipani erinka kagrane ana rankumamofo amu'nompinena antegeno ainire keginagna huno me'nena kavugosa anantega huntenegeno, ha' vahe'mo'zama rankuma'ma avazagi kagine'zama hankaveti'za ha'ma hunezmanta zankna hino. Hagi e'i ana maka zama tro'ma hanana zamo'a, Israeli vahe'mo'zama nege'za kvama hanaza zamofo avame'za megahie.

Then take an iron pan, and place it [to be] like an iron wall between you [the drawing of] the city. Then turn your face toward the drawing. It will symbolize [enemy troops will] surround the city to attack it. That will be a warning to the Israeli people [MTY].

4 Ana hutenka Israeli vahe'mofo kumimofo knazana hoga kaziga'a mase'nenka eri agofetu anto. Na'ankure anama mase'nana kna'afina Israeli vahe knaza erinka vugahane.

Then lie on your left side, and stay like that for 390 days. That [symbolize that the Israeli people will be punished for] their sins; you must lie like that one day for each year during which they will be punished.

5 Hagi Israeli vahe'ma knazama erisaza avame'zana 390'a knafi kamigahuankino, mago knamo'a mago kafu huvame huno metere hugahiankino, 390'a kafufi kumi'ma hu'naza zantera knazana zami'na vugahue.

6 Hagi e'i su'ama vagamarena rukrahe hunka tamaga kazigati ete mase'nenka, Juda vahe'mokizmi kumimofo knazana erio. Hagi 40'a kna kamuankino, 40'a knamo'a 40'a kafu huvame huno me'ne.

After that, lie down again. This time, lie on your right side for 40 days. That [symbolize that the Israeli people will be punished more] for their sins, one day for each [during which they will be punished].

7 Hagi rukrahe hunka Jerusalemi kuma'ma tro huntenka, ha' vahetamima trohunte kaginte'nana kumamofona kazana rusutenka knazama erisaza zamofo kasnampa kea hunto.

Turn your face [the drawing of] Jerusalem and bare your [like a soldier does who prepares to go into a battle] [MTY], and prophesy [what will happen to] the city.

8 Nagra nofiteti anaki kantenugenka rukrahe osu ana kazigatike mase'nenankeno, ha' vahe'mo'zama rankuma'ma avazagizama ha'ma huzmante'naza knamo'a evu vagaregahie.

[You will not be able to move; it will be as though] I have tied you with ropes in order that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have [symbolizing how many years the city] will be (besieged/surrounded by enemy soldiers).

9 Hagi kagra witine balinenki, kohe'ene lentoli koheki, miletiema nehaza ne'zanki witigna ragama renentea ne'za emema nehaza ne'zane ante avitetenka kanenka zuompafi eri havia hunka bretia tro huo. Hagi 390'a knama masenka manisana kna'afina ana bretia negahane.

[Before you do that, ] take some wheat and barley, beans, lentils, spelt and millet, and put them in a [storage] jar, and use that to bake [for yourself]. That is what you will eat during the 390 days while you lie on your [left] side.

10 Hagi mago mago kna zupama nesana bretimofo kna'amo'a, 200'a gremi hugahianki anampinti refko hunka nezama neknarera netere huo.

You will eat (8 ounces/a small loaf) of bread each day.

11 Ana hukna hunka mago mago knarera kasefa tina mago lita kapu netere huo.

[Also] measure out (1.5 pints/0.6 liter) of water to drink each day.

12 Hagi vahe'mofo rifamo'ma hagegema hu'nesia rifare, tevea hugrenka ana bretia krenka nenege'za vahe'mo'za kageho.

Eat that bread like you would eat a loaf of barley bread. But use your own dried dung for fuel to bake the bread while people are watching.

13 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a mago'ane amanage hu'ne, Israeli vahe'ma zamahegasopenuge'za ru vahe'enema umani'neza, amama hanaza hu'za agru osu ne'za negahaze.

That will symbolize that the Israeli people will be forced to eat food that is unacceptable to me when they are living in the nations to which I will force them to go.”

14 Anage hige'na nagra hu'na, Ra Anumzamoka e'inahu avu'ava zana kora hu'na nazeri pehena osu'noe. Nagra ositeti'ma mani'nama e'noa kna'afina agra'ama fri'nea bulimakao afuro sipisipi afuro, afi zagamo aheno traga hu'nea bulimakao afuro sipisipi afuro, agru osu afu ame'a onetfa hu'noe.

Then I said, “No, Yahweh God![Do not force me to do that]! I have never caused myself to become unacceptable to you [by doing anything like that]. From the time when I was young, I have never eaten meat of any [animal] that was found dead or that had been killed by wild animals. And I have never eaten any meat that is unacceptable to you.”

15 Anage hugeno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Knareki vahe rifa atrenka bulimakao rifare tevea hugrenka bretia kregahane.

Yahweh replied, “Okay, I will allow you to bake your bread using dried cow manure instead of human [for fuel].”

16 Anage nehuno Ra Anumzamo'a mago'ane amanage huno nasmi'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, Nagra Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea ne'zana eri fanene hanenkeno, nezankura atupa nehu'za osi'a nezama mesiama'a sigerirera erinte'za refko huza osi'a netere nehu'za antahintahi hakare nehu'za, osi'a tima nesu'za tusi zamagogogu hugahaze.

Then he said to me, “You human, I will cause the supply of food to Jerusalem to be cut off. [Then] the people will eat the small amounts of food and drink the small amounts of [that the government permits them to have], and they will be [very] distressed and anxious as they do that,

17 Nagra e'inahu'za hanuge'za bretigu'ene tinku'enena atupa nehu'za, ovufi avufi hu'za tusi zmagogogu hugahaze. Na'ankure kumi'ma hu'naza zanteku hu'za ome haviza hu'za zaferinage hugahaze.

because water and food will be very scarce. They will see each other becoming extremely thin, and they will be appalled; [but this will happen] because they are being punished [for the sins that they have committed].”
